Completed Rogers Rangers, French & Indian War, 1758 - Imrie/Risley 76mm Metal

[KenBoyle]

Nicely done Ken. I have the old Series 77 Ranger buried away in my GGA. Whenever you do one of these "golden oldies" you make me want to go back and dig one out to paint. Keep them coming.

Thanks Mike! These bring back a lot of memories and are just plain fun to do.

Cheers,
Ken

Nice work Ken.
Very good brush skills on those fine details.
Keith

Thanks Keith! After painting several 28mm vignettes, the 76mm details seem a little easier. There is definitely room for improvement. After all that's always the goal.

Cheers,
Ken

Your works prove that there's no such thing as an "old figure".It only takes skill and commitment and even the oldest pieces can look this good!Well done indeed.

Oda.

Thanks Oda! Much appreciated.

Cheers,

Thanks Nap! Bayardi's resin trees make the job easy.

I am also looking forward to the Phoenix figures. Many of Tim's figures border on caricatures but in a good way. I fondly remember painting many of them and took a silver in Chicago back in the 70s for "Napoleon Advancing". Good times...

Cheers,
Ken

Ken, Nicely done! This was the first figure I painted when I got into miniatures back in 1980. It is still one of my favorite offerings of a Rogers Ranger. I still enjoy reading the Kenneth Roberts title, Northwest Passage. Think you did a smashing good job with the old I/R Kit! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Terry! It's those kind of memories that make these figures so much fun to paint.

Cheers,

Ken, I totally agree with you. I recall many of the figures I enjoyed over the years . Glance at them in my cabinet and remember where I was at, who gave me some tips to do this or that, and what I was doing when I painted them! Lots of good memories. It indeed is still a fun hobby!
